Before there was nerdery, there was a whole collection of comfort food and craft beer recipes. Explore and enjoy.
This is kind of epic. Like, more than that. This grilled cheese blends bright, warm-weather flavors with bacon… and gobs of cheese. Like, what!? I’m not even going to write a big to-do about it, I’m just gonna say, you gotsta make this. It’s the business. Editor’s Note: This is still my favorited grilled cheese…
I used to hate tomatoes. Growing up, I wanted nothing to do with them. I didn’t even like sauce. I’d wipe it off my pizza. If my mom made spaghetti, I’d prefer to have plain noodles saved out. I just wanted none of that shit. Somewhere around 18, I made a conscious effort to start…
I had all of these high hopes and ambitions for cooking this weekend. I should have known better. It’s Beer Week here in Philadelphia. As a craft beer nerd, I had a lot on my plate. Or in my cup, rather. Though, that does mean I need some substantial food in my belly to survive…
Are you all going to barbecues this weekend? Don’t show up empty-handed. Have some class! Take one of these amazing make-ahead dishes that will wow the pants off of everyone. Amaze Balls and Awesome Sauce Delectable candied bacon and fontina cheese, stuffed into monkey bread balls, served with a sauce made from raspberry jam and coffee…
I’m not a big summer/beach/tropical kind of girl. I like warmth in moderation and I fear the sun. But that doesn’t mean I don’t absolutely love the flavors associated with all that shit. And on a rainy, cold, gloomy Sunday in May, there is nothing better than tapping into those flavors. Get your tropics on….
I grew up on hearty, delicious, simple comfort food. To this day, my favorite foods revolve around the recipes my mom made for me when I was a kid. One of my ultimate favorites and what I always want when I’m sick is not chicken noodle soup, (cause I’m a fat kid at heart) but…
Hey you. You going to some barbecues this season? You want to impress the shit out of people with the dish you bring? Thank god. I’d hate to think slackers read my blog. Make this! It is what it says. AMAZE BALLS with an anything-but-delicate AWESOME SAUCE. It’s basically a savory monkey bread. Caramelized onions…
I was reading up on my genealogy and I found this fun story about my GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT Grandmother, Rachel. Her and her husband packed up their covered wagon and moved to Northwest Ohio (where my family has lived since then). They lived in a hollowed out tree while they built a log cabin….
What’s better than pizza? Bite-sized pizza balls. This is by no means a fancy recipe. I started playing around with this recipe a few years ago and it has since become a staple in my household. Plus, I like to make anything ball-shaped so I can make some good old-fashioned Schweddy-ball-style jokes. ‘Cause apparently, I’m…
Every Friday, my office has a Bagel Friday. Mountains of bagels, cream cheeses and other various toppings. Due to trouble with the supplier, our lovely tradition has come to an end. Last Friday was the end of Bagel Friday. /Cue simultaneous crying and sigh of waistline-relief/ Every Monday, my office has a ton of leftover…
